Class Foam::functionObjects::generateZone Description Generates, registers and optionally writes the \c zoneSet generated by a \c zoneGenerator. Usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value type | type name: generateZone | yes | zone | zoneGenerator specification | yes | \endtable Example of a functionObjects::generateZone which creates a \c cellZone named \c kZone of the cells in which the value of the turbulent kinetic energy is within the highest 10% and then functionObjects::volFieldValue is used to average the velocity within this zone: \verbatim kZone { type generateZone; libs ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so"); executeControl writeTime; writeControl writeTime; zone { type coded; code #{ // Lookup field from the objectRegistry, e.g. k const volScalarField& k = mesh().lookupObject("k"); // Calculate the minimum and maximum k values const scalar mink = min(k).value(); const scalar maxk = max(k).value(); // Fraction of the range of k const scalar f = 0.1; // Lowest k in selection const scalar lowk = f*mink + (1.0 - f)*maxk; cellIndices = selectIndices ( k, [&](const scalar k) { return k > lowk; } ); #}; } } UAverage { type volFieldValue; libs ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so"); executeControl writeTime; writeControl writeTime; writeFields no; cellZone kZone; operation volAverage; fields (U); } \endverbatim See also Foam::functionObject SourceFiles generateZone.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef generateZone_functionObject_H #define generateZone_functionObject_H #include "fvMeshFunctionObject.H" #include "zoneGenerator.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { namespace functionObjects { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class generateZone Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class generateZone : public fvMeshFunctionObject { // Private Data //- Run-time selected zoneGenerator autoPtr zg_; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("generateZone"); // Constructors //- Construct from Time and dictionary generateZone ( const word& name, const Time& runTime, const dictionary& dict ); //- Disallow default bitwise copy construction generateZone(const generateZone&) = delete; //- Destructor virtual ~generateZone(); // Member Functions //- Return the list of fields required virtual wordList fields() const { return wordList::null(); } //- Remove the registered objects virtual bool execute(); //- Do nothing virtual bool write(); // Member Operators //- Disallow default bitwise assignment void operator=(const generateZone&) = delete; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace functionObjects } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
